HANGER.

Application filed November 2, 1922. Serial No. 598,622.

which may be moved after the hanger is se-' cured in place, whereby the means may be aligned with the pipe being supported thus assuring a straight length of pipe extending between a number of hangers.

A further object of my invention is to provide a device of the type describedthat is shaped so as to be supported when embedded in concrete floors or the like.

A further object of my invention is to provide a device of the type described which is simple in construction, durable and eflicient for the purpose intended and which is not likely to easily get out of order. v

Other objects and advantages will'appear in the following specification, and the novel features of the invention will be particularly pointed out in the appended claims.

My invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings forming part of this ap plication, in which Figure 1 is a side elevation of the device showing it operatively applied in place,

' Figure 2 is a section along the line 2-2 of Figure 1,

Figure 3 is a top plan view of the device,

Figure 4 is a section along the line %4 of Figure 1.

In carrying out my invention I provide a hanger indicated generally at 1 which is formed with a casing 2 and an upwardly ex tending supporting member 3. As clearly shown in Figure 2 the portion 3 has a recess 1 4 therein and is provided with a downwardly extending flange 5 at its upper end. The casing 2 has lugs 6 extending therefrom by means of which the device may be secured in place to the frame work 7 of the floor. he device is especially adapted for use in concrete floors and, as heretofore stated, is disposed in place upon the molding 7 by nails 8 or the like. The concrete or cement may now be poured upon the flooring 7 and when hardened will securely hold the hanger 1 in place.

The construction of the casing 1 is fashioned so as to permit the pipe supporting member 9 to be slidably carried thereby,

whereby the member 9'can be aligned with the pipe even though the/hanger 1 1S slightly out of alignment. In this manner the hangers 1 may be disposed in substantial alignment in the ceiling 10 thereby obviating the necessity of accurately aligning the hangers. If the hangers areslig'htly out of alignment with each otherthe pipe supporting members 9 may be moved with respect to the hangers so as to accurately align the members 9 with respect to the pipes 11. The men1bers'9 are U-shaped and are adapted to receive aclamp 12 which in turn carries or supports the pipe 11. The clamp '12 is secured to the member 9 by means of a bolt 13.

In Figure 4 I have shown a top plan view of the member 9 and it will be noted from this figure that the lugs 14 of the member 9 are provided with curved sides 15 whereby they may be first inserted into the casing 2 and then rotated through an arc of 90, whereby themember is locked in place. The lugs 14 prevent furtherrotation of'the mem her in the same direction. The shank 16 is of the same width the slot '17 in the bottom of the casing 2 and is also providedwith rounded corners 18 whereby the shank may be rotated to an arc of 90 and be prevented from any'fu'rther rotation in the same direction. It will also be noted from Figure -1 thatthe under side of the lugs 14 and the upper side of the lower floor of the casing 2 are serrated. The thickness of the lugs 14 permitsthe member 9 tobe moved upwardly so as to disengage the teeth 19 of the niember 14 from the teeth 20 of the casing 2. The member 9 can therefore be moved with respect to the casing 2 and then be lowered, whereby it will be locked in place, against 1 further movement.

From the foregoing description of the various parts of the device, the operation thereof may be readily understood. As heretofore stated the device is especially constructed so as to be disposed in concrete or cement floors. The hangers 1 are disposed on the flooring 7 in any position desired, this position being determined by a prearranged plan. The concrete can now be poured upon the flooring 7 and will an tirely encase the hanger .1. It will be noted that the concrete will flow bet ween the casing 2 and the flange 3, whereby thecasing is firmly embedded in the floor, and provides a sufiicient support to the hanger after the concrete is hardened. The concrete also v 1,588,628 ENT OFFICE.

flows intov the recessfi and aids injpreventing lateral movement of the hanger 1 with respect to the floor. It is to be not-ed that the hangers 1 are arranged'in substantial alignment with each other so to be in substantial alignment with the pipe 11 that to be carried by the hanger. The members 9 are now inserted into the casing so that the I lugs 1 are aligned with the 17, whereby the lugs'may be moved into the ing. The member 9 is now rotated through an are or QO and-is prevented from further rotation the construction of the lugs 1% and the sianlrs 16 as heretofore described. The member 9 in each oi? the hangers 1 may be mored with respect to itshangerso that the members Will be accurately aligned With each other Land Will readily support t hepipe 11. r The length otthe "ea ing 2 permits the Ineinbers to be moved quite a distalncewith respect there-to. After the concrete For cement has set tl ieffranie workfi may be re; niioved and it will benoted that the hanger 1 is securely held in place. The hanger 1 is really "a permanent fixture of the ceiling or floor 10. The bottom of the casing 2 is flush with the under side of the floor 10.

In case it is desired to remove the pipe 11 The bolt- 13 is carried in two places, i. e., by both of the arms of the member 9. Both free ends ot'the plate or strip 12 are can ried by the bolt-13. From this construction it will be noted that the member 9 is adapted since the bolt 13 is carried in two places instead of one, andthestrap 12 is carried or secured to the bolt 13 at both or its ends instead of at only one end.

I claim: 7 V

A device of the type described compris ing a hanger, said hanger having a casing, said casing having a slot in its under surface extending substantially the entire length of the casing, the slot being of less Width than the Width of the casing for providing supporting ledges, these ledges being disposed on each side or" the slot and having their upper surfacesserratedya pipe carrying member having a shank, said shank having an enlarged head, the'Widt-h ot saidhead being sufficiently narrow to perinit the head to enter the casing through the slot, andof sutiicient length to rest upon the serrated portions oi? the ledges, said head having its diagonally opposite 'cor-' ners rounded to permit the shank to be turned 90 in ,one direction trom'theposition assumed during its projection into the caslng.
